DUCKWING 302 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 There is no comparison to hunting and bullfighting im a great believer in doing something for a reason and I partisapate in every type of hunting but my mane thing is to kill my quarry as quickly as possible and it always has a sporting chance to get away but bullfighting is just trying to make the wee prik of a matador look good by causeing pain and suffering to the bull why does it have to be swords ?why cant it be something else that doesnt slowly kill the bull I'll tell you why its cause the bull would have more stamina and would run all day and get the better of the little shit with the tight trousers and the stupid fukin hat ,and fuk off with all this fukin shit about tradition ,it was tradition to burn or drown any one that was thought to be a witch in this country but that doesnt make it right I agree. F*ck tradition or culture, it was part of Belgiums culture to destroy whole races of tribal people. Germanys culture at one time was to torture and kill Jews and Gypsies and God knows who else... Bullfighting is disgusting. And don't even bother trying to label me as an "anti", because I hunt with respect so that I don't have to support slaughterhouse deaths of animals, when probably half of that meat is thrown out and wasted. Though I don't say nothing about people who do buy battery chicken, I believe what I believe and thats my call. In Spain where they do Bullfighting, etc. they also have a tradition of shooting arrows at bulls, torturing Donkeys, and a whole load of other shite. Theres just no need for it. Bullfighting is completly different to hunting imo. Call me what you like, I don't give a f*ck. WELL B . S. THE INTINALS ABOUT SUM YOU UP IAM AFRAID I LABELLED YOU AS AN ANTI A GOOD WHILE AGO AFTER YOUR COMMENTS ON ANOTHER THREAD ....... PLUS THE FACT YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO TASTE IN MUSIC WHAT SO EVER ! AND ECHOING MACKEMS STATEMENT .................. THAT FELLA IS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF CRAP IVE EVER HEARD ........ GERMANYS CULTURE TO KILL JEWS ,......... IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE FALSEHOOD IN THAT STATEMENT I REALLY DO FEEL VERY SORRY FOR YOU !!! JIMB ....................... I DONT FOLLOW BULL FIGHTING .............. SAME AS I WASNT A REGULAR FOLLOWER OF THE FOX HOUND PACKS ...... YET..... I WOULD ARGUE THEIR CASE ALL DAY LONG AGAINST NARROW MINDED BIGOTS WHO PROBABLY HAVENT EVEN SEEN A BULL FIGHT OR FOX HUNT IN THE FLESH ....... AND CERTAINLY HADNT HAD THE CRAIC WITH THE PEOPLE INVOLVED TO DISCOVER THEIR OPINIONS AND ARGUEMENTS YOU AND A FEW OTHERS ON HERE ,........... SEEM TO THINK THEY ARE TOTALLY OK TO KILL ANIMALS AND DO IT IN A HUMANE WAY .... BECAUSE ITS HUNTING ......... YET PUT THE ANTIS SPIN ON THE WAY YOU HUNT AND IT WILL COME UP WITH SOME OF THE SELF SAME ARGUEMENTS DUCKWING Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Wow, that horsemanship was truly amazing, truly the Shane Williams of horses, the way that it feinted, side stepped & turned away from the bull. Full credit to whoever posted that link, to watch man & beast work so well in unison was a joy to watch! I think some folk on here should take a long hard look at some of their comments here. Especially the one that was on about 'The Germans culture of killing Jews.' WTF? Get a grip you sad, sad person. Each to their own. We should understand that more than anybody else, to have our way of life stopped for some of us, because of the very reasons that have been posted here. 'I don't agree with somebody else culture, so it must be stopped.' What a load of shite! Link to post Share on other sites

undisputed 1,664 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) i took in a bullfight when I was in Madrid a couple of years ago and found it facinating. Theres a lot of pomp involved the Spanish love it and no-one in here should condem it. This is part of that countries culture just as hunting WAS part of ours. I saw Matadors being ragged by the bull then getting up to finish the job, takes a lot of bottle I imagine. One of the Bulls refused to charge and was taken out of the arena (alive). Apparently these bulls are meant for slaughter and are killed for there meat anyway. The horses take a bit of punishment aswell and despite the protection they wear sometimes get goured. To each their own. Edited October 30, 2008 by undisputed Link to post Share on other sites
Tallyho 181 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I know its each to there own, but i coudlnt personally sit and watch an animal end up like this , reguardless of what culture, if the animals are being killed for meat then at least do it quick .
